What Staining Techniques Enhance Tissue Integrity?
Staining is used to differentiate and visualize various cellular components. Common staining techniques include hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), which provide contrast between different tissue elements. Specialized stains, such as Masson's trichrome or PAS, can highlight specific tissue components like collagen or carbohydrates. Proper staining enhances the visualization of tissue morphology while maintaining integrity.
